Because she was part of the building plot. She would have likely been far more important, but as a result of the actress leaving, they obviously had to heavily rewrite the story to do away with whatever they had planned.

But then, I don't remember much of anything of Den-O due to how bland it was.

You're funny.

It's a good show. In case you're curious, the doll (kinda big OOO spoilers) was a gift Dr. Maki recieved when he was a little boy from his sister, who he remembered as very kind and always by his side since their parents died. Then she got married, or was going to, and his perfect memory of her was being tarnished. He saw her getting married as abandoning him/replacing him, so he killed her to preserve his mental image of her instead of watching the only thing he have left turn into something he saw as ugly and cruel for leaving him.

Yeah, so comedic. I'm busting up at the sides just thinking about it.

Seriously, I think the doll was used for comedy... I want to say three times? The rest of the "comedy" was just natural reactions to a grown man carrying a doll perched on his arm all the time. Hardly written-in gags.

And of course "Bob... BOB MARLEY." But you know.
